Birkenhead
Birkenhead is a wonderful place to live. It has a variety of shops, homes, and parks, and not to mention plenty of great cafes. With the Auckland Harbour Bridge close by, and also the Northern Motorway, Birkenhead is geographically one of the most attractive places to live in Auckland. It’s perfect therefore for people looking to save money through house sitting, and for homeowners, there should be no shortage of professional sitters to choose from.

I am an Auckland based sales professional. I decided to become a pet sitter because I love animals and I can take my work office anywhere. I absolutely love animals and have always had them in my life as I grew up on a farm. I’m confident in looking after Dogs of any size and have no issues walking and sticking to their routine., I’ve also confident to give medicine to both cats and dogs and I have the ability to transport pets to the vet if that was needed. If I was to house sit for you, you can rest assure, your animals would be loved as I would care for them as if they were my own.

Hi There, We love looking after pets of all shapes & sizes and have been doing so house sitting full time since February 2018. Having grown up in both urban & rural environments we are constantly asked to look after peoples pets & homes and if it wasn't for the need for us to relocate up to Auckland we would certainly be settled with some pets of our own. We moved up to Auckland to pursue some career opportunities which came up somewhat out of the blue and hence we have decided to make the move with only our suitcases to our name and house sitting enables us to save some money on rent and have fun looking after some wonderful animals. We have been together for over 8 years, originally from being swept up in the Rugby World Cup spirit in 2011, before following the All Blacks to England to defend their title in 2015, and we now have our eyes set on heading to Japan 2019 Rugby World Cup - hence our need to save our pennies! My girlfriend is obsessed with cats and loves playing with dogs and I myself one day dream of owning a Dachshund once we return to our home in the South. As well as getting to look after some amazing homes & animals house sitting also gives us the opportunity to see all corners of the Auckland and we are not afraid of a decent commute where necessary. We look forward to meeting you and your pets and hope that you will consider us as your house sitters. Many Thanks, Elliot & Sam

I'm a 33 year old professional interior designer who's trying to save money for a trip to England. I'm very neat and tidy and have a little bit of a green thumb- I love growing orchids. I have looked after friend's and family's homes in the past, always endeavouring to leave their home in the manner in which I have found it. I like to leave people's homes clean and tidy with the fridge cleared of any old produce ready to be restocked. I grew up with lots of pets and have experience in looking after cats, dogs, hamsters, birds and fish. I have looked after larger dogs who need to be walked everyday, along with smaller dogs, one who was quite anxious and required a little bit of TLC. I have also had experience with older dogs who needed medication. I'm happy to brush your pets, as required, ensuring that they look good when you get home. While I love getting out and about for a walk along the beach or catching up with friends, I can be a bit of a home body and enjoy spending quiet evenings at home, so I'll be able to spend some time with your pets. I know that for some animals just having someone around can help them to feel comfortable while their owners are away. As I mentioned before I am happy to help look after your garden and water your indoor pot plants while you're away. I'm wanting to look after a person's home in the same way that they do- making sure that their pets feel loved and cared for and ensuring you can relax while on holiday knowing that someone responsible is looking after your home and animals.

Dear homeowners, We are an entrepreneurial couple, in our early 30s. Our home is in Australia but during the past 8 years we have spent a lot of time in-between New Zealand & Australia. This time we are staying in New Zealand until the end of September 2020. We have joined the house-sitting family because it gives us a great opportunity to explore different parts of New Zealand while spending time with some amazing animals. Also, it feels good to help out busy homeowners who wish to take a break or holiday without having to worry about their pets and home :) We absolutely love animals and for a while we've wanted to get our own dog but due to our lifestyle it's nearly impossible at this stage. Looking after someone elses pet(s) is the second best thing to owning a dog :) So far we have done house sitting in New Zealand as well as looked after our friends houses and pets all around the world - dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits & various avian species (parrots, chicken etc). We also have experience with looking after rescue dogs and think that there is nothing more rewarding than getting some love back from them :) Growing up our families have owned dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and even frill necked lizard. Looking after animals comes to us naturally, they truly are humans best mates. By choosing us to look after your home and/or extended family members we can assure you that both of them are well looked after. We would treat your home and pets as they were our own. PS: As we both work from home it doesn't really matter whether your home is - in a city, suburban area or even in the outback. As long as you have internet access we are happy to help you out. Hope to hear from you soon, Simon & Marion The Estralians

We love animals and since our beloved family cat Casey passed away last year we feel privileged and fulfilled by spending quality time with so many amazing pets from some of New Zealand’s most unique places though Housesitting. I (Zlata) am currently completing New Zealand Certificate in Animal Care (Companion Animal) which covers all aspects of animal care including health, hygiene, behaviour, and handling. I’ve gained the applied knowledge and skills to care for a wide range of companion animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, and birds, in a variety of settings including your home, pet shops, kennels, animal shelters and catteries. As part of my course requirement I’ve completed over 40 hours practical experience at Tauranga SPCA learning the best practices in the most rewarding yet challenging of environments, which has prepared me well to care for your precious companions while you are away. My partner Clinton and myself are committed to providing the best care and attention for your family pet while you are away, so you don’t need to feel any anxiety or stress about leaving. We treat animals as our own and pride ourselves on making it easier for you and your beloved pet(s) during your time away. We are in a very unique position to be able to live and work from remote places thanks to our internet business www.Interlike.app. Clinton’s daughter spent last year in Spain after finishing high school in Auckland where we rented the same house on Jervois Road in Herne Bay for the past 12 years, she is now about to start University in Wellington this year so we are ‘free birds’ so to speak while saving for our first home. We enjoy flexible work hours and can adapt to any new routine quickly and easily including caring for any special animal requirements. Clinton's background is in commercial film and photography, so if you enjoy being updated with cute videos and photos of your pet enjoying their daily routines then you are in for a real treat. We go out of our way to make sure animals are happy so capturing and sharing these special moments with you while you’re away is our heartfelt pleasure. We are truly grateful for all the pets we have cared for and the families we have helped thanks to Housesitting. Now we are both looking forward to hearing from you and learning how we can make a difference for your fur baby(s) too! Zlata & Clinton

Hello, I am Kristin, I work as a classical singer and performer, and have recently moved my base back to New Zealand , after fifteen years living mostly abroad. For the last 5 years I have lived in Germany, working full time as an opera singer in a German Theater. I perform regularly with the New Zealand Opera Company and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. My work is contract based, and often I am working from home between performances and rehearsals. I really love being around animals, especially cats and dogs. My previous cat Balki was my big love growing up and was with me for 15 years. We also had two beautiful Bischon Frises, first Aspen and then Summer, who were adored by us all and very much part of the family. I have missed having my own animals the last years as I have been travelling so much, so I will delight in giving your pets heaps of cuddles and attention. My partner Wendy was a lawyer for fifteen years before retraining and is now practicing as a therapist. She has owned property for over 20 years, including a bach at Ti Point and a twelve acre block in Matakana, as well as inner city villas and apartments. Wendy’s most recent pet was a tabby cat called Toby, who she had for ten years. Prior to that, she had a precious border terrier called Yarrow. Wendy has often looked after a friends old English sheepdog for a month at a time in Muriwai, who she loves taking for long beach walks twice a day. We both share a love of yoga, meditation and nature, and enjoy a quiet lifestyle. We are looking to buy a home later this year. We will take very good care of your home and pets, bringing positive energy and love to it and to them.

Kia ora, My name is Aroha Henry, and I am 51. I was raised in Wellington and grew up with pets. My mother was particularly fond of having pets and a lot of her endearment traits for pets I have too. My first pet was a cat Kippy, and then my family adopted two small dogs, Flipper and Mingo, they lived their lives with us. One of the dogs was reasonably old when we took her, and she passed away, and the other was younger, so he lived until we had to say goodbye to him. I adopted a German-Shepherd puppy, her name was Natasha, and I had her for 15 years until I had to say goodbye to her too. I have always lived with pets, and therefore I enjoy housesitting because it allows me to share my animal-loving endearment traits and personality. I work full-time as a Solutions Support Administrator from 7am – 4pm. I am also completing my Bachelor of Communication studies this year, and I am looking forward to my graduation in 2020. I enjoy housesitting and the added advantage of befriending many pets. I am a responsible and respectful person who wants to help out families by looking after their property and pets while they are away. I am also very friendly and trustworthy, and your pets will enjoy my company just as much as I will enjoy theirs. Please have a look through my references and feel free to call my referees who will be more than happy to vouch for my character and skills as housesitter and pet minders. We would love to meet you and your pets and hope that you will consider me as your housesitter.

Hello! My name is Lauren and I’m a personal trainer working in Ponsonby. I have come back from spending time overseas and now currently live with my parents after flatting beforehand. I have house sat for several of my clients over the last year and enjoyed the change of scenery while they have appreciated having extra security of their house while they go away. I love cats and dogs and have always grown up with pets so have no trouble looking after them. I’m tidy and cautious with taking care of other people’s belongings and property and I don’t often invite other people over. Overall I’m a reliable and trustworthy house sitter!

Hi there! Our names are David and Tessa, 28 and 30 years old. We moved to Auckland a year ago and we are still in the stage of our lives where we do not need to settle. We love adventure, seeing new places and experiencing new things. By housesitting we can see different parts of Auckland and get a good feel for where we might want to settle a couple of years from now. Furthermore, housesitting gives us the joy of pets without holding us back from travelling. In the past year, we have done this by foster parenting for the SPCA and we have really loved it! As I (Tessa) am writing this we are actually housesitting and dogsitting for friends who are away in South Africa for a month. I have also gained quite a bit of experience pet and house sitting while living in the Netherlands. I had dogs come over to my apartment for periods of time or I would also housesit for their owners while they were away. I am still in contact with some of the owners as I grew quite attached to the puppies. Since I work from home I have more time to spend on things that I enjoy such as exercise, reading, keeping my house clean, loving animals and gardening. You can expect a clean well maintained home and garden, loved and cared for pets and a safe home because someone is there for most of the time. Also, we love taking photos so if you are worried that you are going to miss your furry children too much we are more than happy to send you regular updates through pictures and videos :) Warm regards, David and Tessa

Hiya! My name is Ruby, I have just finished my degree at AUT. Studying a bachelor of communication design. Aka Graphic Design. Motivated, respectful, and driven individual! Lover of animals, new environments, change, and caring for others places! I have been house sitting for around 3 years now, new spaces to work, relax, and look after, fulifl my sense of independence and care. I am a bubbly uplifting character, aiming to please and succeed in every role set upon myself. I currently live at home on the Stanmore Bay Peninsular, nannying on the ones off's (which not only comes with the role of caring for a child - but pets too) and currently work as a video editor and graphic design freelancer. I love exercise, walking, being in the outdoors. Caring for both living environments and my wellbeing go hand in hand, so always make it a priority to live in a tidy clean environment. I have been very dedicated to my course, which I have now completed. Looking at entering the design industry early 2020. A house sitting role would be a way for me to: - Care for a furry animal - Look after someone’s beloved home - Be independent and explore a new environment/area -With the added bonus of having my own space with a cuddle buddy In terms of experience, I have looked after family friends places, and had three jobs with this company (since been registered April 2018) I’ve had multiple pets growing up, so understand the care and attention needed for animals. Can deal with large or small animals with a controlled mature manner. A homeowner can expect me to be reliable, responsible and flexible to their needs. Caring for their belongings and catering to all their wants, needs and pets desires to my best ability with full communication and trust. Thanks so much for taking the time to read, Kindest Regards Ruby

We are a happy couple of adventurers and animal lovers. Fit and healthy, full of energy. We love to be of service and have found this to be a wonderful way. Our house sitting experience has been gathered for about 15 months. Romilly is a good gardener (organic) who enjoys growing food. She has had horses in her youth, and is experienced with dogs, cats and chooks. She also loves the sea and is an experienced sailor. Richard is a people person, brought up on farms. He is also a car buff and handyman, lawn mower and animal lover. We are tidy, clean, non smokers, who will look after your place as though it is our own. We love house sitting because it provides opportunities for us to support others in their lives, while we meet wonderful people and have new experiences. Because we are landlords, we understand all the implications of having others live in your house and the importance of respecting your property.

I’m a 28 year old female looking to house sit to save money for my own place (and a pet of my very own too). I’m an animal lover so will love to get to know your precious pals! I grew up near Palmerston North with 3 cats (my black and white moggie Patch was the best cat ever). I also had bunnies as a kid and pet sheep. My parents have a Siamese so I’m used to attitide. Sadly after moving to Auckland, it’s hard to find flats allowing pets so I’ve had to sacrifice getting one of my own. I’ve been house sitting for the last couple of months and have been loving it. It’s been nice to have animals around again! I’ve become accustom to daily doggo walks, and the extra attention from the animals. I’m very respectful and will take care of your house as of it were my own. As for your pets.. I’ll spoil them like a favorite Aunty and give them plenty of play time and cuddles.

My hubby and I are looking forward to looking after your home and your pets. We absolutely love animals, and will make sure that they are kept in the same routine with all your rules in place. We have looked after dogs (many breeds and all sizes), cats, sheep and a pig. We love the company of pets, and enjoy playing with them, taking them for long walks, and have no objection to them sharing a room or bed with us, if that is what they are used to. We will be at home for most of the day to make sure that they have company, and will not be going out in the evening. We are a mature, professional couple who would be very respectful of your belongings and privacy. We would love and care for your pets, plants and home, so that you can enjoy your travel time.

We always had dogs and cats when I was growing up so I'm comfortable with having them around and looking after their needs. I house-sat for some friends and their two beautiful dogs over the winter of 2018 and decided I wanted to continue doing it for others. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur and can work online from anywhere. I enjoy the variety of moving around and experiencing different places. Because I work from home I'm able to be there a lot of the time to keep an eye on things and keep your pets company. I'm tidy, self-sufficient and responsible with other people's property. My motto is 'leave things the way I found them'. I look forward to meeting your beloved pets :-)

My name is Claire Chapman and I’m an active, caring and friendly person. I love travelling and have seen much of the world. My recent travels have been around New Zealand and I have stayed in some wonderful homes which I have treated with pride, always leaving them clean and tidy. All my reviews are thankful for the way the home has been left and all say they would welcome me back. I’m married to Kerry and we have been together for 35+ years. We have 3 adult daughters who all live in Auckland. We are making the move to Auckland to be closer to our family. However this will be a slow transition as we have a house in Napier that we have owned for over 20 years and Kerry has work commitments that need to be completed in Napier that could take some time. I have been fortunate to secure part time work within the Libraries of Auckland in Ranui and am looking forward to the new environment. I will be house sitting on my own until Kerry can join me. The opportunity to take up the lifestyle of house sitting appeals to me. I have owned many pets Bailey was a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrior who was much loved by all in our family for many years. Our two cats Chardonnay and Benson lived to 19 and 18 years old. Our goldfish lived for 12 years and I have also owned lots of tropical fish. So my experience with various loved pets is long standing. The joy you get from animals is enormous. We are currently looking after my daughters cat while she is on extended holiday and she has a medical condition that requires daily administration of meds. I also have travelled to Australia on a couple of occasions to look after my sister's dog while she went on an extended OE. If I was successful in securing a Housesitting position I would be very respectful in looking after your house. I would return it to you just how you left it. I would take care of your loved pets just how you would. I even love gardening and would happily potter in yours. And I would relish the experience of living in a different environment.
